The Health Adventure, founded in 1968, is celebrating its 40th year
throughout 2008. The Health Adventure is a health and science museum
for children and today's families dedicated to improving health
awareness, promoting wellness lifestyles, and increasing science
literacy through programs and exhibits.
The Health Adventure explores the wonders of the human body and the
world around us. We encourage curiosity, creativity, and the capacity
for individual discovery. We recognize that each person perceives the
world from a unique vantage point. Health, biological and physical
sciences, technology, and the scientific process are emphasized in our
interactive exhibits and curricula. We believe increasing science
literacy enables people to make informed decisions about personal
health, scientific advances, and career choices. While we are aware
that there are many ways to learn, our creative programs and exhibits
emphasize participation, exploration, and fun.
Located
at Pack Place in downtown Asheville,
North Carolina, The Health Adventure features a hands-on,
interactive approach and utilizes exciting, dynamic exhibits
to teach guests, school and community groups from all over the
region. The Health Adventure has gained national and international
recognition.
We
are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday from 1
p.m. to 5 p.m.; Closed Mondays. Admission is $7 for adults; $5 for
students, seniors, and children ages 2-15; FREE for children under age
